Dinosaurs to get new home in Heyuan

HEYUAN, Guangdong: Authorities here have allocated 50 million yuan ($7 million) for the construction of a fossil museum this year, which will form part of a dinosaur theme park.

Heyuan, a city in the mountains of Guangdong, set a Guinness World Record in 2005 for the world's largest collection of dinosaur egg fossils - it had 10,080 at the time.

The 8,000-sq-m museum will house the collection of dinosaur egg fossils, which has since grown to 13,800, as well as bones and footprints that have been found in and around the city, curator Huang Dong said.
